I've been using Reta for roughly 1 month, and my weekly amount is now 4mg. Alongside that, I've also been on a Testosterone starter dose for 1 month. My weight hasn't dropped at all. Since I began working out, I've gotten body scans over the past 6 months, and they show muscle going up while fat goes down by about the same amount.

Compared with my previous scan 3 months ago, I put on 7lbs of muscle and dropped 7lbs of fat. Is that less fat loss than I should expect?
 
What's a typical starting amount for testosterone?

Also, if those weren't MRI scans, I wouldn't trust them very much.

Do you log what you eat?...If nothing about your diet has shifted, chances are you're simply maintaining....
 
Unsure about the milligram amount, but it's 30 units taken 3 times weekly. That's simply the starting dose they gave me.

As for the scans, they come from an Inbody body scanner that costs $9000. I don't take them as gospel, though I'd put more stock in them than a scanner you'd use at home.

If a legal steroid dealer or men's clinic is the source, Test E at 200mg/ml is the usual concentration. Still, you ought to determine your actual dosage.

Like I mentioned before, I wouldn't rely on it much.

Go by measurements and photos. When the waist of your clothes starts feeling loose while the sleeves feel tight, that means things are moving in the right direction.
